====== Language Generation ======

You can generate translation entries from existing language files and classes that support translation keys.

Firstly, create a class that extends ''FabricLanguageProvider'' and implement the base methods like so:

<code java>
private static class MyModEnglishLangProvider extends FabricLanguageProvider {
	private MyModEnglishLangProvider(FabricDataOutput dataGenerator) {
                // Specifying en_us is optional, by default is is en_us.
		super(dataGenerator, "en_us");
	}

	@Override
	public void generateTranslations(TranslationBuilder translationBuilder) {
		
	}
}
</code>

Lets add some translation entries:

<code java>
@Override
public void generateTranslations(TranslationBuilder translationBuilder) {
	translationBuilder.add(SIMPLE_ITEM, "Simple Item");
	translationBuilder.add(SIMPLE_BLOCK, "Simple Block");
	translationBuilder.add(SIMPLE_ITEM_GROUP, "Simple Item Group");

	// Load an existing language file.
	try {
		Path existingFilePath = dataGenerator.getModContainer().findPath("assets/mymod/lang/en_us.existing.json").get();
		translationBuilder.add(existingFilePath);
	} catch (Exception e) {
		throw new RuntimeException("Failed to add existing language file!", e);
	}
}
</code>

Now, we will need to add the provider to our data generator in the ''onInitializeDataGenerator'' in your entrypoint class like so:

<code java>
public class DataGeneration implements DataGeneratorEntrypoint {
    @Override
    public void onInitializeDataGenerator(FabricDataGenerator fabricDataGenerator) {
        Pack pack = fabricDataGenerator.createPack();
        pack.addProvider(MyModEnglishLangProvider::new);
    }
}
</code>

====== Supported Classes ======

These are the game objects that have a translation key for you to translate:

   * ''Item''
   * ''Block''
   * ''ItemGroup''
   * ''EntityType<T>''
   * ''Enchantment''
   * ''EntityAttribute''
   * ''StatType<T>''
   * ''StatusEffect''
   * ''Identifier''
